发明名称 ADJUSTABLE KAYAK CARRIER
摘要 A kayak carrier for a vehicle that can be adjusted infinitely for supporting a wide range of kayaks of various sizes is disclosed herein. The kayak carrier can include four supports, two for the front and two for the rear of a vehicle. The supports can be comprised of foam and have through holes to accept a guide to couple the supports together, thereby forming saddles which can rest on the rear and the front of a vehicle. The kayak carrier can be secured to the vehicle via straps. A kayak can be secured to the kayak carrier via straps or netting. The rear supports can further include a relatively low-friction surface, compared to the front supports, to facilitate sliding to ease kayak installation. The front supports can include a relatively high-friction surface, compared to the rear supports, to prevent slippage. Additionally, the bottom surfaces of the supports can include a similar relatively high-friction surface to prevent the supports from sliding on the roof of the vehicle.
